He further said their own part of the money is ever ready and they won’t hesitate to return to the table whenever the the federal government deem fit to fully kick start the clean up because right now there is nothing concrete on ground, to be frank.

Meanwhile, it was reported last week that ace singer and performer, Timi Dakolo, turned down a call by the FG to perform at the event to flag of the Ogoni cleanup. No reason was giving for the action and attempts to get a response from the singer were unfruitful. Mrs. Amina Mohammed, Minister of Environment, expressed her disappointment via her Twitter account while congratulating everyone who participated in the event.
